Knock Knock
Me: groggily saying What?
CHild out side the door: Toilet mumble mumble mumble
Me:What????
Husband: Just open the door!!!!
Child out side door: The Toilet Mumble mumble mumble
Me: OY! Just a minute!!
I get up and search the floor for the pair of shorts I knew I had taken off before I got in bed 5 hours earlier.
Oh nope that is a shirt, NO that was a bra, Oh there they are.
Now what way is up, what way is front? Oh there we go, one leg in 2 legs in, pull them up OOPS! that is not right! 2 legs one whole hmmmmmmm lets try this again! one leg in , two legs in pull them up, WOOHOOO! success I put my shorts on in the dark! Now I just have to find my way to the door with out killing my self on the laundry basket or a cat!
SHEWWWWW made it! Open door squinting eyes from the bright light pouring out of the bathroom next door. My eye adjust, and its my youngest child.
child: MOMthetoiletdoverflowedandIonlywentpee!
Me: HUH? slow down son what?
Child:The toilet over flowed!
Me: Did you turn the water off?
Child: Yeah!
Me: Ok did you plunge it??
Child: huh what? I only went pee and it over flowed!
Me:OK but did you plunge it?
Child: Umm no.
I am awake enough to step out of my bedroom door and look in the bathroom. Water all over the floor.
Me: Well grab some towels and start sopping it up!
Child: Uh ok
So I take a towl and put it down so I can walk in and grab the plunger. I start plunging. Sure enough bits of TP come floating up, so who ever went poo last used to much TP or something! I get it all fixed.
Child: I'm sorry mom, I only got you because I thought something was wrong with the toilet because I only went pee and it over flowed.
Me: Yeah what ever I'm going back to bed!
I would rather he have gotten me up because he was not sure, then to think we did have a broken toilet that could have continued to over flow or leak during the night!
So I head back to bed.
Now my cat loves to play with the phone, he can turn the answering machine off and on at will, he loves to take the phone off the hook and listen to the the recoding that happens after the beeping! Ugg. So because I had been up and out he felt it was play time. By 4 am I had to unplug the phone and take it off the hook so I didn't have to listen to him trying to take it off the hook. He would start in just as I would doze off! uGGGGGGG
I have a feeling I maybe dragging butt today!

It amazes me how helpless boys can be. Now if he had put something in there that he wished to hide from you he would know what to do. And why do you keep the kitty with you if it doesn't let you sleep. Our boston has learned the art of keeping still. Well have a great day. Or at least try.

Normally my boys do very well at this sort of stuff, but he was afraid there was something wrong with the toilet becuase he had only gone pee and it backed up. In this case I much rather he get me up then let it go tell morning with 3 other kids in the house that use that bathroom.
